Today is the start of vaccinating Ohioans at least 80 years old though there aren’t nearly enough doses this week to give to even 25 percent of that age group.
With a limited amount of vaccines available and high demand, there have been issues for some calling health departments, hospitals and other medical facilities as well as pharmacies to register.
Mahoning County is supposed to get 3,075 first-dose vaccines and Trumbull County is to receive 2,300 doses this week. Two doses of the vaccination, about three to four weeks apart, are needed.
Mercy Health will start giving the vaccines today at its primary care centers in North Lima, Youngstown and Howland, said Dr. James Kravec, its chief clinical director. Before getting a vaccination, a date for a second dose will be scheduled, he said.

On a recent Saturday, a group of masked neighbors living on Buena Vista Street in Midtown Memphis congregate at a distance, of course on Jeff Warren’s front yard.
“We hope to be the Buena Vista model,” says Warren, who is a medical doctor and a member of the City Council.
He means a model for what’s called assurance or surveillance testing. Since mid-November, Warren has been setting up a weekly, mini COVID-19 testing operation in front of his house. Here, the tight-knit residents of the neighborhood along with their co-mingling children test for the virus as a group. It’s a strategy to catch asymptomatic carriers of the virus and hopefully reduce spread.
